preventling plagio for a newborn baby

[Guest guest]

Our first son had mild torticollis and plagiocephaly. Our son had physical therapy that resolved the torticollis and after consulting with our pediatrician and a pediatric neurologist we opted not to get the helmet. Now he is almost 2 and his flat head is not noticeable under his hair. We are now expecting our second child shortly and are considering buying a product that you put the baby to sleep on that we saw at a baby superstore that claims that it helps prevent plagiocephaly. In Addition, I have come across the following products on the internet that claim to prevent plagiocephaly. Also, we heard about the Bumbo seat. Does anyone recommend this? It seems good b/c it enables the baby " sit " up earlier than it would otherwise which would prevent less pressure on the head. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please reply directly to my email address (
